The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 757 - 567: Military Aid

Out of the six awards at the Sydney Film Festival, patriotic films won five, with only one big-budget movie promoting tourist attractions winning the Best Cinematography award.

However, this result did not meet any objections from the public, who were quite satisfied with it.

After all, those award-winning patriotic films were big-budget productions from the three major film studios, with scripts written by multiple literary workers and directed by the most professional directors.

The corresponding music production, set decoration, and so on, were all of the highest quality in Australasia, so it would be strange if these movies did not win most of the awards, indicating a problem with the judging.

On the day of the film festival and the following day, the awards became a hot topic in Australasia, and the winning films gained more popularity. Find more adventures on empire

Overall, this year’s Sydney Film Festival was quite effective. Not only did many films regain popularity, but the companies that produced the films and the associated directors and actors also made an impression on the public.

Compared to future generations, the films of this era had little artistic pursuit and no eye-catching scenes.

After all, the images were all in black and white, and the picture quality was often blurry, so telling a complete story was already quite challenging, let alone pursuing a sense of stimulation through the images to shock the audience.

This is also the current trend in film development: due to technical reasons, filmmakers generally abandon visuals to focus on more emotionally moving stories instead.

And "Australasia Dream" is very simple, which is about the dream of Australasia’s rise.

Although it is just a dream, it is something that everyone, from Arthur to the ordinary people of Australasia, wants to achieve.

As the first sound film in Australasia, the impact this film brought to the people of Australasia was unparalleled.

No matter how many new patriotic films are released every year, "Australasia Dream" is still shown for free on National Day every year and always receives enthusiastic welcome.

Take this year’s data, for example. Even though it was a familiar film, it still attracted millions of viewers, which is an exaggerated number.

Now the film has even attracted many imitators abroad, with Island Nation making its own "Island Country Ambition," attracting a large audience.

However, the rise of Australasia has almost become a realized dream, while the ambition of Island Nation is much more challenging to achieve.

As time moved into February, Arthur signed a decree to increase immigration to New Guinea, including immigration to various colonies.

This decree aimed to promote population growth in the colonies and speed up the process of colonial localization in Australasia.

By World War II, they strived to localize important areas such as New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Royal Territory, and Sulawesi Island, so as to stabilize the domestic situation during the war and not worry about the collapse of the colonial system afterwards.

Even after World War II, Australasia only needs to maintain the Persian Gulf Territory, which would greatly reduce political and military pressure on the army.

Even if the Persian Gulf Territory is lost, as long as the basic foundation of Oceania is preserved, Australasia will still be the dominant power in the Southern Hemisphere, and its position there will be unshakable.

After the complete success of the colonial localization strategy in Dili, the focus of the country shifted to the localization of the New Guinea colony.

New Guinea is critical for present-day Australasia, as it is not only a potential water supply area but also an essential barrier in the north and a vast territory.

The mineral resources on the island are also abundant. Whether from the perspective of strategic importance or economic value, it is a territory that Australasia must have in its hands, and the best way to do so is through localization.

However, the bad news is that New Guinea is so vast that it requires even more people than Dili to develop and occupy it properly.

The territory of New Guinea is not inferior to the state-level administrative region of Australasia, and it would be impossible to develop it without millions or even tens of millions of people.

Even for preliminary development, it would require at least a million people to stabilize the situation in New Guinea.

Moreover, the indigenous people of New Guinea are also an issue, as there are still some indigenous people on Sulawesi Island, which must be dispersed as soon as possible.

First of all, these indigenous people are Black People and are not part of any Australasian plans.

Secondly, these indigenous people theoretically have sovereignty over New Guinea, and the indigenous tribal relics of New Guinea also prove that these people had lived in New Guinea for a long time.

When the colonial system collapses, the native inhabitants naturally obtain sovereignty over the colonies, which is unacceptable to Arthur.

Therefore, expelling the indigenous peoples from the territory of Australasia as soon as possible and allowing them to live in foreign countries for an extended period would minimize their influence on the colonies.

After twenty or thirty years, how could these indigenous people claim to be the original inhabitants of New Guinea?
